Close of u Successful Engage
ment by the Balfe Company.
Houston Post.

Miss Balfe and company closed a
very successful two nights and matt
nee engagement last night. Large and
critical audiences witnessed both per-
formanccs, and the repeated rounds
of applause which called Miss Bale
before the curtain eyinced the high
position she has gained in the estima-
ton of the Houston peOple. The
character of Edith, "The Planters
Wife," opens a larger field perhaps
for the display of her peculiar talent,
and while it requires more hard work
and greater force, the author has not
succeeded so well in bringing out
those delicate and touching little
speeches and incidents which must
ever render "Dagmar popular with
both the sympathetic and critical.
Upon the whole. however, the play Of
the "Planter's Wife" is much stronger
than "Dagmar." 1t shows the compa-
ny to mu h better advantage, carries
more than single thread in argument,
and includes sufficient comedy to re-
lieve the sadder features. The COM
pany did well, much better than on
the previous evening, and the audi
ence was much pleased with the per-
Torrance. The company leaves this
morning for Austin, thence to San
tonic and Temple, and will open
new opera house at the latter
lace. The next attraction is Nellie
Boyd next Friday, with Charlotte
Thompson underlined for the follow
ing Monday.

ALL ABOUT CALICO.

The derivation of this word is very in
teresting as OF such an ancient date is it's
origin. Mrs. Lsonowens says in her
" Travels in India" that Sin the year
1893, just ten month and two days
after leaving the port of Lisbon, Vasco
da Cana landed on the coast OF NAL
abar at Calicut, or more properly Kale
Rhoda, City of the Black Goddess
Calicut was at that period not only very
ancient seaport, but an extensive territory,
which, stretching along the western coast
Of Southern India, reached from Bombay
and the adjacent islands to Cape Como
rim. 1t was at an early period so famous
for it's weaving and dyeing of cotton
cloth that it's name became identified
with the manufactured fabric, whence
the name calico. It is now generally adj
mitted that this ingenious art originated
in India in very remote ages. and from
that country found its way into Egypt.
1t was not until toward the middle of the
seventeenth century that calico printing
was introduced into Europe. A knowledge
of the art was acquired by some of the SER
wants in the service of the Dutch East
India Company and carried to Holland,
whence it was introduced in London in the
year 1876" 1t is surprising for grown-up
children, as well as our young folks, to
learn that "Pliny as early as the first GEN.
fury mentions in his natural history that
there existed in Egypt a wonderful meth
cd of dyeing white CLOTH" Calico cannot
be despised when it boasts of such antiq-
nifty. The shoddy makeup of the pres
emit day may look down with contempt
upon the calico dress, but "Whst kind of
lineage has it?' the calico can proudly
ask.

A vERITABLE POEM OF POEMS

A VERITABLE POEM OF POEMS.
A lady of San Francisco is said to have
occupied year in hunting up and fitting
together the following thirty eight lines
from thirty eight English poets. The
names of the authors are given below:
1. Why all this toll for triumphs of an hour?
2. Life's short summer, man a flower;
3. By turns we catch the vital breath and die;
A. The cradle and the tomb, alas so nigh,
5. To be is better far than not to be.
q. Though all mans life may seem tragedy:
Z. But light cares speak when mighty cares
are dumb,
8. The bottom is but shallow whence they
come.
9. Your fate is but the common fate of all;
10. Unmingled joys here to no man befan.
III. Nature to each allots her proper sphere,
IL. Fortune makes folly her peculiar care;
ID. Custom does often reason override,
IA. And throw cruel sunshine on a fool.
10. Live well, how long, how short, permit TO
heaven,
16. They who forgive most shall be most for
given,
II. Sin may be clasped so close we cannot see
its face
IS. Vile intercourse where virtue has not
place;
10. Then keep each passion down, however
dear;
20. Thou pendulum betwixt smile and tear;

26 Riches have wings, and GRANDEUR a dream.
81 Think not ambition wise because tits brave,

30. The way to bliss lies not on beds of down.

A FATHERS HINT-A SONS SUC-
CESS.

There is an excellent point for both
father and son in DIR. Andrew d. Whites
account of his early education in the
Forum. One day while at Yale he re-
ceived a letter from his father, asking
young White to meet him in New York
The son hastened to obey, and the father
took this way of giving the boy hint.
He had taken some of the literary prizes
while in college, and as he was about to
return to New Haven, his father said:
"By the way, there is another prize, the
largest of all, to be competed for"
EYES," the son answered, "the De Forest;
but 1 stand little chance of that; for
though may be one of the six Townsend
prize men admitted to the competition,
there are other speakers so much better
that have little hope Of taking it," The
father gave the son rather a scornful look
and said very impressively: "If we're
one of the first six competitors in class
of over hundred men, should try very
hard to be the FIRST one" He said moth
ing more except good by. Young White
went back to college, engaged an elocu-
ZIONIST to give him course in vocal gym
nastics, developed strong, round flexible
voice, and did his best, which, in the
competition with others, was considered
to be the best effort of the six in oratory,
and won the De Forest prize. The story
is characteristic of the father and the son,
and reveals the secret of the success of
the lives of both. Most college youth take
the bull by the horns, but young White
took the course that meant success, and
won what he aimed to secure. He has
won at the best end all through his life
The incident was one of the testing
points of the man. The elder White
knew where and how to appeal to his
sons ambition, and the son knew how to
take hint and work it out for all it was
worth.

1t Is claimed that Orchard Hill, Ga,
has the largest peach orchard IN the
world. 1t comprises 100 acres and con-
tains $4,000 trees, and is owned by J. D.

AS rule fattening cattle will require
twelve pounds Of dry food for every one
hundred pounds of live weight, and this,
nnder favorable conditions, will make
one pound of gain. The food to do this
must be nutritious and contain thirty
three per cent OF grain.
In answer to the question, " Does Alsike
clover make dark colored honey?" sew
eral correspondents of the Bee Journal
say it does not; others say it makes a
honey slightly darker than that from
white clover, but not as dark as buck
wheat honey. One reply says Alsike
clover honey has pinkish color; another
that it is every way equal to white clover
honey.
A good garden may not appear to bring
in any money on the farm, but it saves a.
great deal.
Go over the lawn with a heavy roller
while it is soft from recent freezing. This
is the only way to secure level surface.
The annual report on farm animals of
the government statistician shows that in
spite of general tendency TO decline,
the value of horsefesh has increased.
A little sulphur or some fine tobacco
stems or insect powder in the nests of set
ting hens will help to keep away insects
and the hen herself should be examined
when she begins to set, and all vermin re-
moved by some insectcide.
Don't wait till the chickens are hatched
and spring work crowding to make some
coops; and when you make them make
them Thoroughly, not only as matter of
economy but for good luck's sake, SO that
your poultry will not be ashamed to be
seen in them.
Prof. Caldwell says that some expert
ments made with common salt proved
that the soil OF grass plat which had
been dressed with it was found to contain,
ten days after rain had fallen on it
twice as much water as an adjoining plat
which had received no salt The plants
on the sailed portion were growing vigor-
ously, while those on the unsalted plat
we're suffering from drouth.

THE GREEN SEA OF THE CORAL
ISLANDS.

Prof. W. K. Brooks, who accompanied
the scientific expedition sent to the b.
hemas by the Johns Hopkins University,
writes as follows in letter to a Balti-
more newspaper: Our pilot steered us
safely through the crooked inlet between
Whale Key and No Name Key into the
inner sound. Here we saw for the first
time that intensely green sea which has
been so frequently mentioned by voya-
gers among coral islands. This vivid
color soon became more familiar, but
never lost its novelty, and it still holds
its place as the most brilliant and char
acteristic feature of this highly colored
landscape. The water is SO perfectly
pure and clear that small objects, like
shells and star-fish, are visible on the pure
white coral sand at depth of fifty or
sixty feet, and the sunlight which is re-
fected from the white bottom gives to
the water vivid green luster which is
totally unlike anything in our familiar
conception of water. The whole surface
OF the sound seemed to be Illuminated
by an intense green phosphorescent light.
And it looked more like the surface of gil
gantio polished crystal of beryl than water.
The sky was perfectly clear and cloudless,
and overhead it was of deep blue color,
but near the horizon the blue was SO COM
pletely eclipsed by the vivid green of
the water that the complementary color
was brought out, and the blue was
changed to lurid pink as intense as that
of November sunset. The white foam
which drifted by the vessel on the green
water appeared as red as carmine and l
afterward found in a voyage through the
sounds in a white schooner that the sides
of the vessel seemed to have a thin coat
of rose colored paint when seen over the
rail against the brilliant green.-From
the March Saoiss Cross.

MOTHERS

A mothers authority ought to be
marked by sweet reasonableness. The
children, when old enough to compre-
bend more than the bare duty of implicit
obedience, should be convinced that all
her rules and regulations are based on
sound principles, and have their welfare
for their aim and end. Thus, young
girl of fifteen, invited to form one of a
large party in country house, where
every one was older than herself, adhered
to her mothers rule that she was always
to go to bed at nine o'clock. No matter
what fun was going on, what temptation
was held out to induce her to stay ten
minutes longer, she was gently infexible,
and would say, smiling. "Mother told
me never to stay up after nine; it
wouldn't be good for me-"
Many remarkable men have had re-
markable mothers. The first Napoleon
never forgot his allegiance to his mother,
Lucrezia Bonaparte, who had been called
the Cornelia OF her day. She was wo-
man who practiced "plain living and high
thinking" and though her sons words
bore two meanings, his tribute to her
worth was heartfelt when he reiterated,
with the deepest conviction, "Frsnce
wants mothersr'
John Wesley, who was the twelfth OF
nineteen children, loved his mother SO
dearly that when he was young man at
Oxford, he used to pray that ne might
never survive her. And many years
atterward, when word was brought him,
at Bristol, that she was dying, he ordered
his horse to be brought to the door of the
chapel where he was preaching in Broad
mead, and rode on all night, never draw
ing rein till he reached Moorfelde. Some
one made remark to him about his haste
and anxiety, and he answered, "Ah, can
never have another mother CdSseRs
